I'm not there and cdertainly the FEMA, Red Cross folks etc have been through this before, but I don't understand why LEO's ect cant provide some info..."try to get to such and such a point where there's a 'relay'station to get you to the next point." I also don't understand why there arent helicopters dropping some food/water onto the 10 freeway that people are walking on. (I know there would be some crowding etc...but put some armed guards on the chopper and keep it somewhat orderly and as long as there are multiple choppers coming and people knew their turn was coming...) Easy to criticize...I'm not there and I know it takes a couple of days, but it seems that we're far enough out that there should be a little better organization and humitarian support at this point.
WWL reported earlier that they *were* airdropping supplies to I 10.
I don't understand no water/food drops either...at the very least there should have been massive ATTEMPTS witnessed to do so by now.
I went shopping today and saw an entire Super Stop and Shop aisle full of water that is still sitting there tonight. You know, I'm going to call it and say I think it is obvious there is absolutely no good reason why a lot of water isn't being dropped regularly by now.
Here is an emergency with days notice...clearly we are not prepared well. I'm not saying whether we could or couldn't be, just observing the ugly and obvious. What if we had a different kind of emergency with NO notice?
